AVG 8 Problems !!!!!!!!!

Hi

Last week I updated from AVG 7.5 (free version) to AVG 8 Antivirus and Spyware free trial. (OS XP) When I did a full scan of my computer it highlighted 720 warnings mostly Adware with 30 Trogens. Prior to that the 7.5 version would pick up a few cookies and the odd spyware. To double check I then downloaded Spysweeper Spyware and Antivirus and Superantivirus, neither programmes found anything at all. I then uninstalled the 8 version and reinstalled the 7.5 and did another scan. Guess what, nothing found. Do you think it' s a scam by AVG to make me buy the full programme or have I really got all those hanging about. My computer is working as well as ever.

Many thanks

I can't really delete them as most of them are tied up with the registry, they are only warnings. Went into AVG websight and it gave me the answer. See 1198.

I am no expert, bit yes I think I am fine especially as 2 other top Spyware and Virus programmes found nothing.
